These are pure joy to watch grow. Directly planted in soil and sprout in a couple days. Package details are spot on for planting so easy to grow these. I have not even watered them only rain water and they look amazing!
Abundant producer!
I try to buy Peaceful Valley seeds every year as they germinate well and produce great squash. The few times I have bought other seeds from big box stores (when these were sold out), the results were disappointing.
Good quality, well producing
I used the paper towel method to germinate the squash seeds and it worked well. The starts are up and reaching for the sky. Healthy. We like to grill these on a cedar plank with other fresh veggies, like zucchini!
